Going to the River

I’m going to the river

Gonna rest my weary mind

Listen to that stream

And watch my life drift by

Some ancient memory to ponder on

I’m going to the river

Gonna lay down by it’s side

Stare at the stars above

Let my feet dig into the dirt

Fall out of space and time

I’m going to the river

I don’t have a plan in mind

Might even cast a line

Reach those elusive waters

Ancient as the rock it sits on

Find a new question to pine

And connect through my line

I’m going to the river

With my whole life on my mind
